Of course my ultimate goal is to make movies BUT my dream (the kind little kids refer to when you ask them what they want to be when they grow up and they respond "a doctor!") is to go to space! So when I get the money I plan on attending another accredited university, studying science or engineering (cause math is STUPID) going through the process and applying for the space program!
